1 At least you have that option in CA.

2 Yeah--I only risk arrest by the #$^&# Feds anytime I decide to exercise it. I should probably read *The South Was Right.* 'Cause it seems to me that the price of ending slavery in this country was to permanently damage states' rights. You'd think that with a War on Terror going on--and the continued threat of terror in this country--they'd have better things to do than flout the will of CA voters by conducting periodic raids on our MM clinics.

3 My solution to insomnia is L-Tryptophan. My solution to the drug war is to sell any and all drugs from Government owned state stores, stocked only with recreational drugs grown or manufactured in the USA. We already own the farmers, let them earn a little something for the subsidies. I'm sure Merk won't object to access to this lucrative market. Keep all the current regulations about dealing and using on the books and apply them to illicit users and dealers. Using drugs other than the GI approved product, committing a felony under the influence of any drug or DUI would result in loss of driving and second amendment privileges. Is that draconian enough? I picture a world full of hitch hiking, sober, disarmed, college students regretting their choice of youthful rebellion and a bunch of losers standing in line at the druggy equivalent of the DMV lamenting their lost liberties. I'm sure liberals will demand an express line for the poor, elderly and handicapable. The people who actually suffer from cancer, aids and legitimate pain will be on their own because all their needs have been met by cheap, affordable, universal heath care. They have to stand in line with the rest. I see drug usage plummeting, nothing kills a buzz faster than government involvement.
